"HQ, I'm getting another reading on RADAR. Something small. Might be some other kind of monster. I'll see if I can bring up a visual, over." Ben fiddled with the external sensors for a moment until he found an image of what he was looking for. "What the..."
The creature now flying alongside the Aeatas appeared to be some kind of repilian humanoid. It's scaly skin was amythest in coloration with a long tail hanging behind it. Long blue hair trailed formt he back of the creature's head, and bulky armor plating covered parts of its body. Ben hazarded a guess that it might be female, but it was hard to tell.
"We see it Riptide. Yours orders still stand. Do not attempt to engage unless fired upon."
"Roger HQ. I'll keep an ey on it though. Riptide out."

The unusual trio slowly made their way out of San Francisco. Finally after a while however Aeatas lumbered his way out of San Francisco and away from any buildings he could step on. He glanced up at Riptide before turning and looking to Kisara. What an unlikely looking group, the machine, the massive beast, the inter-dimensional being.
Aeatas looked up towards Riptide, still slowly plodding along. The billow of steam continued to rise high into the sky and all the through San Francisco there was a trail of sand that he had left behind him. That'd certainly take a good while to clean up.
"We are free of the city Davidson...Now what do you ask of me?" the telepathic leviathan asked, looking up at the machine. Once again, his eyes bored through as if gazing straight at Ben.

Kisara sighed, hovering beside Aeatas, noticing that the temporal anomalies ceased as Aeatas came to a stop, tilting her head in curiousity.
"Kisara... I've found the largest concentration of the anomaly I detected earlier." Solranous' voice rang in her mind, and her's alone.
The inter-dimensional woman's eyes brightened at his voice, quickly replying back, "Really? So soon?"
"Aye, but it is as we expected... I am not properly equiped to destroy it, we'll need aid."
"I've got two potential powerhouses here, a gigantic sauropod and a saurian shaped mech." Kisara paused to allow the dragon to see their images from her own mind.
"A time warper?" the dragon asked in surprise.
"Yeah, he looks like he'd be a lot of help, I feel we're going to get into negotiations soon."
"... You've been spotted... Your stealth is getting sloppy."
"Oi... I wasn't trying to be stealthy. They wouldn't trust me if I was going all super spy on them." the augmented human responded, sligtly defensive of her skill at stealth, deteriorating as it was.
"I've been out of war too long... I forgot about that..."
"It's probably best that you are... it means you haven't had to had to fight much... Just hurry your tri-tailed rear over to this area so you can get in on these, I was a trained assassin, not a politician..."
"I'm no sage on politics either..."
"Could've fooled me..."
She broke the link off, then looked at Aeatas, calling out too him, and by extension Ben, "We're going to have a little company soon, he's desires peaceful terms like I'm sure the rest of us do. Just want to give you a heads up before he arrives."

"Great," Ben muttered, "just what I need. Another psychic monster. I swear, if these things can read minds, I'm going to have to pay closer attention what I'm thinking about. No sense in giving our guests a look at any secrets I'm not authorized to reveal."
Ben took another look at the external view and watched the blue saurian continue alongside Aeatas. By now, the group was moving steadily away from the city limits and towards the open terrain nearby. With any luck, if things went sour, there would be far less damage to civilian populations to have to worry about.
"Riptide, this is HQ. We've deteccted another kaiju-class object moving towards your location. Keep on your guard, over."
"Roger HQ. I just hope this one's friendly as well."

Kisara smirked, she hadn't heard anything, but she figured Ben was hoping the inbound dragon was friendly as well.
'You've got nothing to worry about. Unless you strike first, Solranous is a friend to all those in need.' She thought to herself. Glancing up into the sky, she saw a speck on the horizon, a speck she knew to be Solranous.
The dragon smiled, glad that Kisara had found such powerful potential allies. He angled himself into a minor dive, spreading out as he grew closer, using his size, air friction, and telekinesis to slow himself down. He soon descended into sub-sonic speeds, landing gingerly outside the city limits, knowing that as large as he was, despite the fact that Aeatas was several magnitudes larger still, he'd have trouble manuvering through the city as well.
It would explain why the mech was leading the sauropod out as well, mitigating damage to the city.
"Hey," was all Solranous said, his voice more the loud enough for the intended recipiants to hear, as he waved a hand to them, patiently waiting.

Nothing ever came as a surprise to Aeatas. He had foreseen all of this and merely looked towards Solranous. His head dipped down for a moment as if bowing politely.
"I bid you greetings, Solranous." Aeatas murmured out telepathically as he glanced towards the dragon.
Now outside of the city and in open terrain, Aeatas came to a stop. The rivers of sand that poured off of his back began to pool at his feet as he stood there. He glanced towards Riptide, his eyes once again peering at where he figured the cockpit to be and thus where the one known as Davidson was.
"As you have asked it, I have removed myself from the city, Davidson. I have come to help you and your kind in this time. I am weary with a heavy heart that dark days of trial are ahead of you and all inhabitants on this planet at this time." Aeatas lifted his head some, feeling the wind gently wash across his face. "Whatever questions I can answer...I shall..."

"Oookay...this is getting a little odd for me," Ben muttered to himself. "I guess we might as well start with how you...all of you, got here. None of our databases have anything on any of you, and I'm fairly certain that none of you are native to this place."

"You'd be correct in that, Mr. Davidson," Solranous answered as Kisara flew over to him, landing on his shoulder. "Kisara and I hail from another dimension, and by extension, another time."
Kisara blinked, then looked over Solranous a bit more closely. "Oh my god... are you alright!?" she yelped, noticing injuries that hadn't been healed yet.
Solranous sighed, smiling at her concern, "Just flesh wounds." he replied as he activated his regeneration. The dragon chuckled, then turned to Riptide again, "Before you ask, I know your name because I am telepathic. As Aeatas already said, I am Solranous. It's only fair that we all know each other's names." At the mentioning of the time warper, Solranous dipped his head to Aeatas, giving his own respectful bow.

Aeatas stood quietly, observing and listening as Solranous spoke. When the dragon had finished, the massive sauropd turned his head to look towards Riptide.
"I am Aeatas. I have traveled through time to warn this world of impending danger. "His telepathic voice trailed off as he looked towards the east. "Far from here, an unforeseen accident has occurred. This accident has opened the door for a future that is drastically different for the one intended for this world. It is devastating that I can no longer see into the future with the clarity I once did. I fear your world does not not the gravity of the situation. I have come to correct that...and to assist in defeating this sudden evil..."

"Umm...right. We could use all the help we can get at this point. Look, I hate to be rude, but I really don't think I'm the one you want to be talking to. General Williams runs the show around here, or, at least, our little part of it. I could probably get you to meet him...although where we'd have to go to have this little get-together is another question entirely."

For all of Aeatas' wisdom and patience, he could feel that very same patience running very thin with Ben's attitude toward him. The ancient sauropod had not traveled through time to be talked down to like this. The spikes on his back began to glow blue as he looked towards Riptide and Solranous.
"I have not traveled across the void of time to be disrespected like this. Perhaps you do not realize the gravity of the situation. I may return when the dark truths of your time set in more clearly..." the once gentle voice now sounding slightly irritated.
In one moment Aeatas was there as clear as day. His spines glowed steadily brighter and in the next moment, he was gone...

Solranous blinked, wondering where Aeatas got the impression of being disrespected, or of Davidson not understanding the gravity of the situation. 'Pity...' he thought to himself, before looking over at Ben.
"I know exactly where we can have a meeting. What's better, is that I can bring it to you, rather then the other way around."
Kisara looked up at him knowingly, "You want me to make the call?" she asked him. He only gave a nod of confirmation. With in seconds, her hand was dancing about her comm system.
"Omni-Eye, this is Kisara, do you read, over"
Another voice came back over the comm, joyfully exclaiming, "Loud and clear, miss!"
"You've got clearence, prepare to transport... And get ready to fight, this world's in the throes of war do to a psychological anomaly."
A nose dive into a serious sound followed in the return transmission, "Roger that, Razgriz and the Mantises are ready any time."
"Good, we're gonna need all the fire power we can get. What's your ETA?"
"ETA two minutes."
"Roger that, Kisara out." The former assassin cut the comm and nodded to Solranous. "They're on the way."
The dragon nodded, then turned to Riptide again, "You see, we've got a mobile base that we can call to a particular point when we need it." he said to Ben, figuring he had answered a question that was never given the chance to be asked.

(First paragraph posted out of location as to not waste a thread for a simple landing scene)
After a short and unproductive search of the Caribean sea, Fang's Divine senses brought him new immages. immages that made him forget about the Aquatic killer he had been seeking. Potential allies were massing to the north, and Fang needed to be there. they knew what this chaos that was engulfing things was. Fang made a swift landfall just south of texas and wasted no time. he broke out in a full sprint toward his destination, outside of a west coast city.
(a short time later)
As Fang approached the scene, he slowly decelerated, Approaching the Mecha, Monster, and humanoid with caution. he slowed to a casual walk before entering their circle. the last thing Fang wanted to do was piss off locals and be attacked. his voice sounded amid the idle conversation while they waited for the mobile base to arrive. <My name is Fang, i have sensed that you gathered here are as I am.> Though he spoke verbally in an ancient and currently unused language, his divine abilities planted the meaning of his words in the minds of those who heard. (someone would perceive this as understanding the language, even if this would seem strange to them. being a divine effect, not a telepathic one, the mental intrusion to plant the meanings is not detectable. just though i's clerify how that all works in case it affects your next post.) Fang kept himself ready for a fight in case one broke out, and his armor glowed faintly, and would be very hot to the touch if he were suddenly attacked.

Location: Vancouver, Washington, USA
Time: Four minutes prior to last post
Another riot had spilled into the streets in the lower half of Vancouver. There was a tense and worried peace on the north side, masking the incredible unease that was waiting to burst through and create chaos anew. Riot police called for greater numbers to contain a situation that was rapidly growing out of hand. Buildings burned. Smoke choked the air. Screams shattered the night. Destruction prevailed for a few devastating minutes as barricades were overrun even in the face of tear gas and rubber bullets.
It was a horrifying sight to Amaterra's eyes.
He had seen a strange glow forming in Vancouver from his vantage on high, and rushed to determine the cause. The cold night air whipped loudly past as he flew headlong towards the unknown disturbance - he had already broken the sound barrier moments ago, and the city was now rushing to meet him. He now understood that significant portions on American Vancouver were on fire, some buildings already consumed in flames, others only recently lit that hadn't hit their flash point. Amaterra didn't understand what was happening. Why was the city on fire? How had it begun? Was this the result of an accident, or worse - but why would an individual perform such a destructive act against his home?
Amaterra slowed as he crossed the outskirts of the city, and it was then that he realized the truth of the matter. The closer he came to the heart of the city, the more chaotic and barbaric everything appeared. People moved and shifted in massive crowds, some moving to leave the city, others pushing towards the flames and through the raging infernos. The kaiju could not comprehend the situation properly, and he began to despair at what he saw - when he suddenly felt the need to steel himself and his mind against the terror of these images all around him. His eyes glinted with righteous fury in the firelight, and he knew what had to be done.
The monstrous Amaterra touched down hard next to a statue of Ulysses S. Grant, shaking the foundations of the general's statue. Everything around him went quiet for an impossibly long five seconds. Then he stood to full height, and nearly everyone around him panicked and started to tear screaming away from him. With sadness, he understood their reaction, but with anger regarded the few who had not taken flight, but instead threw molotov cocktails at heavy rocks at him. He shrugged off both offenses... and the air suddenly got cold. A swirling, invisible vortex of cold air formed around Amaterra as he pulled the heat right out of the air, and the sudden rush of air knocked the aggressive rioters to their feet. Ignoring them, the monster ran between a pair of brightly burning buildings, and relished in their heat as he drew it towards him. The flames began to pull away from the buildings and into Amaterra's body as he absorbed the incredible heat, rising slowly into the air on drafts of warm air to pull the fire right out of the buildings.
The warmth felt good. It was energizing.
Amaterra flew through lower Vancouver, extinguishing fires and leaving only a rush of air and a severe chill in his wake. He drank in the vitalizing bath of heat that he stole from the burning buildings and all the air around them, never stopping long enough to see the stunned glares of rioters, police, and firefighters alike. The city and its occupants either stopped cold or ran headlong away from this monstrosity flying through the streets and over rooftops, leaving salvation from the harsh flames in his wake.
And suddenly, with only a massive burst of wind and a sound, the beast was gone into the night sky.
In under five minutes, Amaterra had saved much of the Washington city from an ashen death.

(OOC: Admiral, might I ask why you posted in this thread, considering it has nothing to do with the topic at hand?"))
CEEHQ

"General Williams! We've just picked up something on RADAR. It's massive sir, and it just popped out of nowhere."
"Can we get a visual on it?"
"I'm trying sir. The Arkbird is currently moving into position and trying to get a good view, sir."
"This just keeps getting stranger and stranger. I really hope whatever it is is friendly, otherwise we're going to have even more trouble on our hands."
----
Outside of San Francisco
----
"Great, another talker. Whatever happened to monsters that just roared and snarled?" Ben surveyed the new arrival from relative saftey inside Riptide, although, given that there were two of them and only one of him, things could get hairy if negotiations wnet south, which they may already have with the really big one. He was unsure of what to do next, when an emergency broadcast from HQ came in, detailing the arrival of the extremely massive object that had just appeared in Earth orbit. "Oh crap," he yelled. "If you one of you guys is responsible for this thing that just showed up in orbit, fess up now. Otherwise, we're gonna have to cut this short."
